Daughter has a hard dot or lump behind ear not sure but turns blue when you touch it?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Lump behind ear: Lumps behind the ear are common. Oftentimes, these are lymph glands. As you describe it, it may happen to be a cyst. Please bring her to the pediatrician for diagnosis.
